Dr. Patrick Walker is an Associate Professor in the School of Public Health at the Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London. His research focuses on mathematical modeling of malaria burden and intervention impact, particularly in relation to pregnant women and antenatal care surveillance. He collaborates with the World Health Organization and the Malaria in Pregnancy consortium to enhance global malaria burden estimation. Key affiliations include the Imperial College Network of Excellence in Malaria and the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis. He led work on the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as part of Imperial College's response team.
- PhD: 'Quantifying the effects of measures to control highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 in Southeast Asia' (supervised by Prof. Azra Ghani and Dr. Simon Cauchemez)
Research interests include malaria transmission dynamics, routine data integration into decision-making, and antenatal care-based surveillance. His work bridges mathematical modeling with public health policy, addressing challenges in low-resource settings.
Publications highlight contributions to understanding malaria prevalence patterns in Tanzania and Indonesia, pandemic mortality analysis in Zambia and Syria, and surgical access equity studies. He advocates for improved surveillance methods to inform malaria control strategies.
